This new role will see Colvin reunited with Bloomberg Media CEO Justin Smith.
The two formerly worked together at The Week. He also joins fellow Newsweek–Daily Beast veteran Mark Miller, who became editor of Bloomberg Live last year.

Colvin made Dennis Publishing the largest British publisher in America, but he admitted that he still likes to get home to Northern Ireland at least once a year to catch up with family and friends.

Many media companies are attempting to stay ahead of changes in the industry, and covering and convening large scale events is fast becoming a popular way to generate revenue through alternative streams.

CEO Justin Smith has recently stated that sponsorships from live events were up by around thirty percent in 2016, compared to 2015.

He also said that Bloomberg Live is “well positioned to be the leading convener of business and financial events around the world…and we expect revenue to grow even more as we define our global events strategy under Stephen Colvin.”

Everyone at NI Connections wishes Stephen Colvin the very best of luck in his new position.
